Dress in Style

 T-Shirts
with nice hunting and fishing motives are one of my favorites.
It is
difficult for me at times to find something that suits my style and is
non-offensive to people that do not hunt. Obviously I
wouldn’t wear anything
that says something like “Buck Killer” printed on
the shirt. My choice of
hunting “advertisement” is exactly what the Texas
based company Field Dress
offers to hunters and fishers.
Field Dress, nice play on words, has come up with some stunning designs
that
are very stylish and beautiful. In true outdoor community fashion the
company
has created different lines of apparel catering to different segments
of the
hunting and fishing community.
The
Evolution Timeline offers beautiful designs of
bowhunting and fishing trough the decades of evolution from the
beginning to
the here and now and what it might look like in the future, simply a
stunning
concept with different design for hunters and fishers.
 The Discover Your Roots
line comes with a monster buck
portrait, or a
flushing
pheasant, or a jumping largemouth bass. Other designs feature
bowhunting and
flyfishing motives.
I
asked the owner of Field Dress, Chad Rodvold to
tell me a little more about his company and the idea behind it, and
that is
what he had to say:
“I
founded the company in 2005 in one
of those
"what am I going to do with my life" moments. I grew up in North
Dakota and the outdoors was my life. After college, I moved to Dallas,
TX to
train for the 1996 Olympics as a javelin thrower and settled. After
some family
issues, I really needed to get back to who I was and do something I am
passionate about. I took my son to Bass Pro and it was there I realized
I had
never owned a t-shirt that said how much I love to hunt and fish. I
think most
of the hunting and fishing tees are a little too "bold" to put it
mildly and I thought I could come up with something better. I came up
with the
basic conceptual designs and a close friend polishes it to what you see
today.
We coined the phrases "nock-up", "hook-up", and
"load-up" and added the established dates of each respective sport
and Field Dress was born.
 Getting
started in today's economy has been difficult, but I keep
getting good
responses, so I am going to stick it out. With your help and others I
am
confident Field Dress could be a popular name in the outdoor
industry.”
Having
seen all the different designs - of
which I
only show a very small sampling here- and the quality of the artwork
and
material I am not surprised that the company gets good responses. I
mean, who
wouldn’t want to wear one of these t-shirts. I know I will in
a heartbeat.
Heck, I'll get a few of them and give some away to my wife and friends
too.
Just do yourself a favor and visit the Field
Dress
website and you know
why I am exited about this new line of outdoors sports
T-Shirts.
